The orcallator.se script uses SE's =~ operator to do regular
expression matches on process names.

I don't believe this operator is case insensitive.

A work around is to edit start_orcallator.sh:

# WEB_SERVER_SECURE contains a regular expression used to find the
# number of running secure web server processes on the system.
WEB_SERVER_SECURE=httpsd

and set WEB_SERVER_SECURE to the uppercase version of the name.
It'll come out in the orcallator data files as #httpsds instead
of #httpds so you'll get separate data for them, which may be
a good thing or not, depending upon what you want to do.

If you want, you could always edit

count_procs()

in orcallator.se to change the =~ to a case insensitive compare.

Best,
Blair
